Don't give up on us yet
Americans are still good.
We've been reading a lot of Greek mythology (this is awesome) around the house, and got into a conversation about anger. We use the term 'anger' for a lot of things. Achilles thinks he's angry when he holds out on the Greeks, but finds out what real anger, or maybe rage is a better term, is when Patroclus dies. For Achilles, then, anger really two things: a frustration that stymies, and a rage that animates.
I wouldn't call either true anger, an anger arising from a sense of human decency. It's nice to see Americans are still capable of that last one.
We need to do more of this, so they can hear it over the $40,000 a plate guys.
